Lyrics

When I first met you, baby
Baby, you were just sweet sixteen
When I first met you, baby
Lord, you were just sweet sixteen
You just left your home then, baby
Oh, the sweetest thing I'd ever seen
But you wouldn't do nothing, baby
You wouldn't do anything I asked you to
You wouldn't do nothing for me, baby
You wouldn't do anything I asked you to
You know you ran away from your home, baby
And now you wanna run away from old B too
You know I love you, baby
And I'll do anything you tell me to
You know, you know I love you, baby
Lordy, I love you and
I'll do anything you tell me to
Nothing in the world, baby
Lord, there ain't nothing
Nothing in the world
I wouldn't do for you

I just got back from Vietnam, baby
And you know I'm a long
Long way from New Orleans
Oh, I just got back from Vietnam, baby
Oh, baby, and I'm a long, long way
From New Orleans
I'm having so much trouble, baby
Baby, I wonder what in the world
Is gonna happen to me
Treat me mean, baby
But I'll keep on
Loving you just the same
Oh, treat me mean
Treat me mean, baby
I'll keep loving you
Keep loving you just the same
But one of these days, baby
You're gonna give a lot of money
To hear someone call my name
Oh, yeah, sweet sixteen, baby
Sweet sixteen
Oh, yes, the sweetest thing, baby
Oh, yes, the sweetest thing I ever seen
You know I'm having
So much trouble, people
Baby, I wonder
Yes, I wonder
Baby, I wonder
Oh, I wonder what in the world's
Gonna happen to me
